There’s nothing quite like a family beach photo shoot to capture those real, joy-filled moments.

This session near the old Lynnhaven Fishing Pier in Virginia Beach delivered all the feels.

From the golden hour light to the love shared between this mom, dad, and their teenage son, everything about this evening was perfection.

This sweet family of three showed up with easy laughter, go-with-the-flow energy, and a clear goal: photos that felt natural and relaxed.

Between the crashing waves, soft sea breeze, and the glow of the setting sun, we had the dreamiest backdrop for it all.

Family Beach Photo Shoot

As a Virginia Beach family photographer, I love shooting at familiar coastal gems like the old Lynnhaven Pier.

The texture of the old pier, sand dunes, and the way the light bounces off the water create the perfect setting for fabulous portraits.

And the best part? Everyone is guaranteed to have a blast while we’re at it.

Their teenage son brought such great energy (and a few epic poses).

I loved watching the laughter unfold between him and his parents.

There was so much love!

The kind that you can see in the way dad pulled everyone in close, in mom’s glowing smile, and in the spontaneous giggles shared over jokes.

By the end of the session, everyone was barefoot in the water and soaking up the joy of just being together.

For me, this is what family photos are all about.

Capturing love, connection, and the little in-between moments that matter most.

If you’ve been thinking about planning a family beach photo shoot in Virginia Beach, this is your sign.

You don’t have to wait for the “perfect time”—the magic happens in the realness of right now.
